The Action Committee meeting will commence at the time the Kona CDP agenda item is heard
the County Council Com)
BUSINESS:
1. County Council's Public Hearing Regarding Planning Director Initiated Amendments to
the Kona Community Development Plan (KCDP). Members of the Kona Community
Development Plan Action Committee will be attending the County Council Public Hearing on
August 7, 2019 from either the West Hawai'i Civic Center Council Chambers or the Hilo
Aupuni Center Council Chambers. Action Committee members may interact with the County
Council members and/or testify on this proposed ordinance to amend the KCDP during this
time.
The purpose of the proposed ordinance to amend (amendment package) the KCDP is to
address language that has hindered the implementation of the Plan, and language that
commits the County to actions or performances that are beyond the authority or scope of
the Plan. These amendments arise from the Missler Case (No. CAAP-13- 0002347) and its
findings about the Plan's mandatory language.
On June 20, 2019, the Leeward Planning Commission moved to forward a favorable
recommendation of the amendment package to the County Council for consideration.
On July 23, 2019, the County Council's Planning Committee moved to forward a favorable
recommendation of the amendment package to the full Council.
